Emily left today...

        Emily left today so Lea and I went to the train station to say goodbye even though we didn't want to.  On the one hand I know that I am going to see Emily again, we have spent far too much time together to think anything else, on the other hand though, Emily lives in San Jose and goes to Davis which is far away...putain.  This whole saying goodbye thing is so much like summer camp, only this time I am wiser and know that the ending is so good.  We have all grown up a lot and have taught each other invaluable life lessons.  I am so happy for the time spent with all of my friends here and I know that this must end.  It is impossible to continue growing in the same way with only a small group of people.  My time here in France has been incredible, but now we will see just how much France has met to each and every one of us by what we bring back home.  Whether it be the cuisine, the language, the fashion, the work ethic, or whatever else we have learned, I know our experiences here will be rated by how we change in our daily lives back in California.
